[TeX-music] interstaff barlines at mid notes

[Christian Mondrup]

Dear all.

A few days ago the problem of forcing inter staff barlines drawn at "mid note time" was raised in the list. Now J.J.R�torr� has drawn my attention to the pst-node part of the pstricks macro collection. I've done some experiments with these macros based on defining and saving starting and ending anchoring coordinates of line drawings. This makes it possible to draw barlines within barless scores starting at the lower staff line of one staff and ending at the upper staff line of the lower neigbouring staff without having to calculate the actual inter staff space.

This is what we typesetters of renaissance music sometimes want to avoid inter bar ties.

In order to make this interesting bar line drawing technique independent of the currently selected musicsize I must know how the width of an 'ordinary' barline is defined in musixtex. Is it some fraction of a notehead width, of \Interligne or?

When this question has been answered I plan to publish a small "demo" score making use of "hand drawn" pst-node bar lines.

Bye
